Summary/Abstract: This paper examines problems of exile and wandering, as seen through two different perspectives: the wanderer as a motif in mythology and literature, and wandering of the text between two cultural matrices which defined the age when it was created – pagan and Chritian. The peculiarity of the Anglo-Saxon wanderer is noted in contrast to wanderers from both Old German mythology (in which Anglo-Saxon literature has its roots), but also in contrast to the famed wanderer from the Old Greek world, Odysseus.
